A Story of Tom Moore.

An old lady who used to be much in
London society relates touching story
of the poet Moore. On one occasion,
when the once brilliant wit and writer
was in his old age losing his memory,
the American was asked to sing for a
small company of which he was one.
She complied with the request. and
sang: believe me if all those endear-
ing young charms" The poet listened
with evident pleasure to his famous
and charming piece. and when the
singer finished he said with much earn
estneSs:
will you please tell me who wrote
that beautiful song?"
.:Why, Mr.. Moore" she answered,
<syou certainly can't expect me to be-
ieve that you have forgotten your own
work" The old man regarded her in
an instant with pathetic look. the con-
sciousness of his infirmity and broken
mind evidently forcing itself upon him.
Then he buried his face in his hands
and burst into tears. Tom Moore, the
brilliant, fiery favorite of London So
ciety, could only weep for what he was
in remembering what he had been.-

And the pain at my inwards, oh, naught

Though tears of disgust from my eyeballs

RAIL AND TIE.
Activity at the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Depot.
THE UNION PACIFIC MOVE.
Departure of the Vestibule Train
w. H. Murphy Returns to
the City Suddenly.

The scene presented at the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Company's de-
pot yesterday afternoon was well cal
culated to inspire anyone with due re-
spect for the business the company
was daily handling. The passenger
depot presented most crowded ap-
pearance. People were hurrying here
and there, looking after their tickets,
checks, etc.; baggagemen were al
most hoarse from shouting numbers
of checks, while others were in con-
slant danger of straining themselves
lifting and tossing the heavy baggage
travellers from one place to another.
The waiting room was packed
to overfowing with anxious
passengers while the platforms
on both sides of the depot were
crowded almost to suffocation with u
struggling mass of humanity. The
baggage room was inadequate to
store the great number Of trunks that
we're arriving in constant stream OF
express wagons. The HERALD's
representative counted over two
hundred trunks piled high upon the
platform OF the depot, and then, see
ing that he had not done much more
than made beginning, gave up the
task and walked over to the freight
department. Here the many
clerks we're found sweat
ing and working with all
their might to keep a correct record
of the immense amount of freight
that was being received every mo-
ment. A question as to how many
cars, actually loaded, were handled
each day, received the answer, that
fully one hundred and fifty cars carry
ing from fifteen to eighteen tons of
freight each, going in both directions,
were sent away from the company's
warehouse during every twenty-four
hours of the week. Leaving the
freight department the newspaper
man walked over to the new freight
depot. Here the sound OF saws and
hammers, added to the heavy stamp
ing of horses, as they drew immense
lOduS OI lFclRuI W tliC PiN.ioi III
was very confusing and almost deafen-
ing. The carpenters at work upon the
building stated that it would be ready
for occupation by the end OF this week,
and judging from the rapiI way in
which it is being put up it will surely
be finished in that time. Th9 south
end OF the building is already finished
and has a large amount OF freight
stored in it. This building is 700 feet
long, or about 800 feet longer than the
former one. The platform in the
south end extends couple of hundred
feet further south, making the entire
length of the freight department,
exclusive of the offices, nine hundred
feet. The offices will be placed in a
brick structure at the north end OF
the warehouse, and will be fitted out
with the most modern equipments.
The plans for this building have not
yet been selected, though several
have been drawn up. The walls OF
the new bagge room are about five
feet high now, and more bricks and
material of every description was re-
ceiyed Yesterday.
